Everyone enjoyed the “out of the box” idea of a breakfast dance. The breakfast menu at Liz Callaway’s Café and Sweets was great, and the dance floor and venue inside the 810 Lanes in The Market Common is awesome. Paul McTaggart taught a Rumba lesson and we introduced ballroom dancing to several new couples.To those who missed it, don’t worry, we’re doing Jump ‘n’ Java every Saturday morning from 9 am to 11 am. Each week will feature a different instructor and different dance style.

It was a beautiful summer evening dancing and supporting our Stardusters Big Band in the Mulberry Park in Shallotte, NC last night. BDPS members danced, and got lots of questions and compliments from others attending. I think we’ll start to see a lot of new dancers at our events in North Myrtle Beach and Calabash.

Cindy, Sue, Peggy, Sal, Cathy, Charlene and Steve represented BDPS at the ribbon cutting for the Brunswick Center at Calabash. About 500 people were present as the new center to serve seniors in this community opened. BDPS will offer weekly dance lessons there beginning in September and plans to hold both afternoon and evening dances at the center. This will not only be a convenience for dancers in South Brunswick County and Northeastern Horry County but will also introduce ballroom dancing to a broader audience.

Our first dance event in the J.B.Floyd Recreation Center in North Myrtle Beach is right around the corner. The be held in the gymnasium with dancing on a beautiful floating wood floor. You’ll feel like you’re in Hawaii with palm trees, pineapples and coconuts and Hula dances. A professional hula dancer will give a hula lesson and demo. It’s going to be the dance of the summer! RSVP ‘s are appreciated to help us plan.

This song was featured in Disney Sing Along Songs: Under the Sea with most of the original lyrics removed and some new ones added.

On Friday, July 13th we’ll start the evening with a tap lesson by Sandy Natoli and later in the evening you’ll watch Sandy and the “Girls Next Door” dance to the ” Codfish Ball”.There will be “sea critters” everywhere including the fare on the buffet!
